About the SVG Viewer

The Adobe SVG Viewer supports Stylable SVG from the "last call" W3C draft specification for Scalable Vector Graphics published on 3/3/00. Please keep in mind that the specification is under development, and will continue to evolve until it is made a recommended specification sometime later in the year 2000.

How to install the SVG Viewer

  1. Before installing, please close any application which you have used to view SVG with an old version of the control.
  2. Execute the downloaded file.

How to view SVG files in your Web browser

Once you install the Adobe SVG Viewer, you should be able to view any SVG file that you export from Illustrator in any supported Web browser.

How to turn artwork into SVG

You can export SVG from Illustrator 9. (To create SVG artwork with Illustrator 8.01, install the Adobe Illustrator SVG format plug-in, which works with the English version of Illustrator 8.01.) You can create your artwork in Illustrator, export it as SVG, and then add any JavaScript interactivity, animation, or filter effects by hand.

Tips and Hints

Style attributes (or style attributes that use entity references) render more quickly than embedded stylesheets.
